Paving the way into a tech career for young girls
Following from the launch of our second iteration of our Local Digital Capital Index which is a guide that describes the impact and value technology can bring to a region, showcasing its strengths and providing direction for development, we are hosting a series of panel discussions aimed at understanding different areas of the UK and the work being done to grow and strengthen the local tech ecosystems.
We were delighted to be joined by:
- Emily Hall-Strutt, Director of Next Tech Girls,
- Naamua Dodoo, Graduate Software Engineer at Tesco,
- Lauralei Chapman-Ludgate Account Director at Makers,
- Nimmi Patel, Head of Skills, Talent and Diversity at techUK
Get in touch with us if you would like to join us to discuss any challenges and opportunities in your area and how can we support your local tech ecosystem at [email protected]
